Homeo
Homeo is a multi-interfaced system aimed at helping reduce energy and water consumption in the household.
The application tracks utility usage for a week, identifying habits and use fluctuations, and afterward proposes realistic goals to meet (ex. minimize spending by 15%).
This one-size-fits-all approach gives more autonomy over the process and helps people save energy and money. A standardized measurement would feel too constricting.
Usage is represented as a fluctuation from an ideal use rate, so there's always complete clarity of how you're doing. Organisms regulate temperature and nutrient levels through the process of homeostasis – maintenance of an ideal balance; we figured, so too could the home.
The interfaces are a mobile app, and mountable displays called “Receptors” that show current usage for targeted, problem-area appliances.
